When to Choose Consulting vs. Coaching

Choose Consulting when:

  • You have a specific institutional project with clear beginning and end

  • Multiple stakeholders need to be engaged

  • You need deliverables (plans, frameworks, systems)

  • Your institution is funding the work

Choose Coaching when:

  • You need ongoing personal leadership development

  • You want confidential space to process challenges

  • The focus is your individual growth and effectiveness

Consider both: Many leaders combine consulting projects with individual coaching for comprehensive support.
